Copy number variations (CNVs) are a pervasive form of genomic variation that entail duplications or deletions of DNA segments ranging from kilobases to megabases. In animal genomes, CNVs contribute ...

The amylase gene family, particularly AMY1, exhibits extensive copy number variation (CNV) that modulates salivary amylase production and, consequently, the efficiency of dietary starch digestion.

“Such knowledge on physiological decline throughout pregnancy and the remarkable rejuvenation right after delivery will assist with revolutionizing our approach to treating the elderly.” “We ...

SMBE Journals (Molecular Biology and Evolution and Genome Biology and Evolution) Generating genome sequence data from six additional C. psl. strains that differed markedly in the size of their genomes ...

Accurate prediction of CYP2D6 activity from genotype data is of utmost importance as CYP2D6 pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing is increasingly used to guide drug therapy. However, given the complexity of ...

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more copies ...
